claycrasher Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hello peeps, I was just wondering if there is anyone out the in PW land that knows anything about wordpress websites and more specifically how to set one up. I brought a template last year that really suits what I need but just can't get to grips with the format and lay out and the most awkward thing is the template is in latin so you can't interpret what is to be altered because you can't read it! Anybody anywhere ?? Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 They use that 'lorem ipsum' latin text just as an example. You should be able to select the text, delete it, then add what you want to put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply Thunderbird, If you look at the site as it is at the moment http://test.cloudninedreamevents.co.uk/wp-admin its just what i want but take the home page for example, you scroll down to the images below the welcome text and I just don't know what they want me to put in there. I love the lay out but just wish I knew what they had in mind for the sections. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are trying to achieve? Cheers Stu Hi Stu, the site is http://test.cloudninedreamevents.co.uk/wp-admin We have a basic site we've used for years www.cloudnineballoons.co.uk but just want to be more professional and have also now move away from just balloons and into other areas so I brought this template ages ago but due to it being set up in a latin style I can't see what the template is needing me to change. Regards. I have plenty of pictures to add the the site and have testimonials and have Facebook and twitter links but am finding it hard to alter the finer parts of the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 but due to it being set up in a latin style I can't see what the template is needing me to change. The 'latin' text is a nonsensical language which cannot be translated, as mentioned above by Thunderbird, which helps show what the page would look like with text. If you didn't have some kind of text there you'd think the web page had no content and therefore no idea how to lay out text or if it was even possible to have text there. (Your website has borderless text boxes) If you've got a section written with this text, just look for clues as to what page you're on, or the title text. If you're on /about-us then you're likely going to be writing stuff about the business and your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) In WordPress you have PAGES, POSTS and WIDGETS in which content can be edited/added, look for those in the DASHBOARD. Open the page you want to edit, it should be obvious where and what needs editing. However, some themes (X Theme for example) have their own editors, but these would still be visible and selectable when you open the PAGE you want to edit.

claycrasher Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Thanks for the response lads, very much appreciated, I think I will be able to make some headway now, slowly slowly. Could one of you tell me how to add Facebook and Twitter details to the page please. Regards, Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
